Novell has just struck a deal with another bank.

Postbank will replace all of BHW Holding’s Microsoft* Windows* 2000 servers with Novell Open Enterprise Server in 2007. In addition, 3,500 BHW office staff and 4,500 field staff will switch to Novell GroupWise from Microsoft Exchange, joining 9,000 Postbank employees who are using GroupWise for secure e-mail and collaboration.

The press release, which this time for a change does not involve Microsoft, contains no word on “intellectual property”. Then again, the solution deployed isn’t purely Linux-based, if at all. Remember that Novell claims the Microsoft deal also covers intellectual property in its proprietary products.

Novell has issued two more press releases:

Novell Delivers First Automated Desktop Management Solution With Native Directory Support for Microsoft NetworksSUSE Linux Enterprise Storage Infrastructure From Novell Available for SAP NetWeaver and mySAP Business Suite
